"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ESVMusic by Eric A. Graef, 2020 
 
 
This song ended up being our (First Christian Reformed Church, Ripon) theme verse for our Thanksgiving Day service in 2020. I wrote this song as part of a song writing collective put on by Resound Worship based in the UK. Their theme for the month of November was "Songs of Thankfulness" and this worked out perfectly, giving me the opportunity to plan our service around the verse. This verse also provided the liturgy for our service where we had specific times to "rejoice," "pray" and "give thanks." Giving thanks in all circumstances proved to be a very much needed thing in the midst of 2020. Regardless of the many crazy things that have happened this year, our God remains sovereign and in control of it all! He is good and worthy to be thanked for all his many blessings given to us in Christ.

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.

"He has made my teeth grind on gravel, and made me cower in ashes; my soul is bereft of peace; I have forgotten what happiness is; so I say, "My endurance has perished; so has my hope from the LORD." Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall! My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, therefore I will hope in him." - Lamentations 3:16-24 ESV

"A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly. The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. A fool despises his father's instruction, but whoever heeds reproof is prudent. In the house of the righteous there is much treasure, but trouble befalls the income of the wicked. The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so the hearts of fools." - Proverbs 15:1-7 ESV
